Problems solved by technology

For example, one type of security risk is the use of a home-made bomb or an improvised explosive device (IED).
This places user personnel in close proximity with the explosive device and further increases the risk of harm to personnel.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Reference will now be made in detail to a presently preferred embodiment of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0013]Referring generally to FIGS. 1-5, embodiments of a system and method for detecting a device with a receiver are shown. In one embodiment of the invention, devices such as explosive devices employing wireless data detonation through wireless communication devices such as radios, cell phones and the like may be detected prior to the detonation of the explosive device. Any type of device with a wireless receiver may be detected without prior knowledge of a frequency plan of the wireless receiver. Additionally, the system and method for detecting devices may provide a precise location of the detected device, allowing security personnel to dismantle the explosive device or allow for safe detonation of the device.

[0014]Referring to FIG. 1, a system 100 for detecting the presence of a device 110 in accordance with an embodime...

Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for detecting devices with receivers, such as explosive devices with receivers used to remotely detonate the explosive devices. The system for detecting devices may include a transmitter which transmits a signal causing saturation of a device whereby harmonic content is emitted by the device. Receipt of an emitted harmonic signal which is coherent to the transmitted signal may indicate the presence of a device. A distance between the system and the detected device may be determined by modulating a frequency of the transmitted signal and measuring the time period between transmission of the signal and receipt of a harmonic signal. Additionally, direction information may be determined which may allow identification of a location of the device based upon the distance information and direction information.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to security threat detection, and more particularly to a system and method of detecting the presence of radio controlled detonators.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In order to maintain a safe environment for individuals, security measures are executed to prevent the occurrence of security threats. One of the most important aspects of a security policy is the detection of a security threat prior to its occurrence. For example, one type of security risk is the use of a home-made bomb or an improvised explosive device (IED). Home-made bombs and improvised explosive devices may refer to explosive devices that include an explosive charge and detonator. Typically, home-made bombs and improvised explosive devices are used in unconventional warfare by terrorists or guerilla forces.[0003]Security measures for explosive devices include the detection of the explosive device and identification of the location of the explosive ...
